Shrikant @shrik.dev · 23/09/2025..this means the landlord own the rights to all the pictures the tenant takes in the premises, so I guess they have to DM the landlord all their dick pics right away. Hey I don't make the rules... 090
Shrikant @shrik.dev · 29/08/2025At some point all words will just be "AI". Microsoft Visual Studio Code will be AI AI AI AI, Google Pixel will be AI AI, etc. You'll tell me "AI?

Shrikant @shrik.dev · 15/07/2025If search engines had launched today, tech influencers would be falling over themselves labelling the use of search operators like +/-, " ", allintitle, allinurl, site, etc. as "search query engineering" 🙄 000

Shrikant @shrik.dev · 18/12/2024It's been many years since I last daily-drove a Windows machine for dev stuff, and I still miss Notepad++ when opening random text formats that are not part of a "project". Zed comes the closest to being that "lightweight, but can do everything" editor replacement, but something's still lacking. 011

Shrikant @shrik.dev · 27/11/2024I've tried so many times till about 2019 to get started with the OCI free tier and it keeps... stopping me from proceeding at some point. IIRC it was at the point where it sends me an activation link or some such? Maybe I'll give it a go again, looks like they've upped the specs of the free tier! 110
Shrikant @shrik.dev · 26/11/2024IMHO this is because waterfall lends itself much nicer to micromanagement.. 020

Shrikant @shrik.dev · 26/11/2024This burgeoning trend of growth hacker types sending LinkedIn connection requests just so they can hassle you without the inconvenience of an unsubscribe link is... annoying. Marketers will do literally anything to get around informed consent. 100
